THE PEABODY LETTER.

The publication few days since of the
fac-simile of President Peabody's letter is
still the subject of much comment.
It used to be considered question OF pro
priety to say kind word of the result of a
treatment other than that prescribed by a
regular practitioner; and the time was when
man using an advertised remedy did SO
more or less surTeptitiously. However, this
has happily given away to broader and
more liberal view of things, typified in Mr..
Peabody's frank expression that he knows
of no valid reason why commentator
should not be equally as hearty in one in
stance as in the other.
Certainly this would appear fair in the face
of the facts. He was assured that the In
Jury would confine him to the house for
three weeks or more, yet in three days
use of the Oil he was out and about his
duties as if nothing had happened. Surely
o remedy that will so practically demonstrate
its efficacy and that has stood foremost, as
has st. Jacobs Oil, upward of ten years as
unapproachable for the eradication of pain,
is Justly entitled to rank as a standard.
That many physicians prescribe it is as true
as that many physicians useit and 1t is only
those of the very old school who, true to
ancient doctrines, can see no good IN 1t, De
cause it is made known to the world. Not
long since one of these dropped confidential
note to friend requesting three bottles De
sent for his personal use Immediately, as
without it his hands were "simply no HANDS
at all, but" continued he, for Heavens
sake don't say said So" This is literally
